Ugh, Thursday.

Here's a picture of a lady in a big hat that I drew for my boss. Geez the scanner at work is crappy! I wish they still had hats like that. What's old is new again, right?

I'm trying to find tickets to visit the other half of my heart, Megan, in St. Petersburg, but they are all SO expensive! Why do planes cost so much money? Or more to the point, why don't I have lots of money? Then I wouldn't need Kevin Spacey to convince me to fly business class.

Anyway. Tuesday night I went to a special pre-screening of Public Enemies, the new Michael Mann movie. I felt like a star! Except for the hour-long wait and not being able to sit with my friend. A real movie star would never have had to put up with that shit! But the movie was good. Am I allowed to say that? They never said I couldn't. And I dare say I'm not ruining the story (public record!) I like John Dillinger but when are they going to make a movie about Ma Barker? I guess they sort of made one in '96 (ironically also called Public Enemies) but it looks like the worst thing ever. I want a good Ma Barker movie and I want Boney M to do the theme song:

Britain DOES have talent

My idol:

How can I describe how much I love this woman except to say that a lone tear escaped and trickled down my face like this:



(I was tempted to post a picture of Frodo crying after Gandalf disappears into the mines of Moria, so I googled "Frodo crying" and it was the first entry! ... I feel weird about that. I feel weird about all of this.)

Wolvertweens

After MONTHS of scorn, my aversion to twitter disappeared in one lazy afternoon. Where is my resolve? Remember a little bit ago when I was bitching about my fear of technology? (me neither). Well, it turns out my fears and my scruples all pale in the face of mass conformity. Should I be ashamed about that? I guess I am a little. It's confusing when my idols are just as pathetic as I am.

On Wikipedia today I learned about allotropy, which is the ability of elements to combine with one another in different ways, producing totally different molecular structures (I'm paraphrasing and hopefully not getting it wrong). When most people think about allotropes... well, most people don't. But of those who do, most of them think of diamonds and granite, which are made of the same elements but obviously are not the same. But there are also lots of other kinds of allotropes, none of which are at all interesting. Except in the world of make-believe, where I learned that Adamantium has 13 allotropes that all do craaaaaaaazy shit to Wolverine. Speaking of which, did you know that Wolverines are part of the weasel family? Raise your hand if you're less impressed now.


And to the gents out there, even if you are lucky enough to find a girl who also thinks it's funny to fart in the bedroom, you still will probably not be able to get away with proposing with a piece of granite. I hope cleverness keeps you warm at night, because you'll be sleeping ALONE.
